Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for deriving target attribute values based on source attributes defined by a hierarchical data mode are disclosed. An attribute value derivation function to change a target attribute data value corresponding to a source attribute stored in a hierarchical data model and an instruction corresponding to the source attribute are provided. The attribute value derivation function is defined by an attribute value derivation header containing metadata describing hierarchical data model and an attribute value derivation instruction for deriving the target attribute based on the source attribute. Using the attribute value derivation function, a target attribute data value is derived. A user interface is generated to display the derived target attribute data value.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods configured to mine information available from informal sources (e.g., social media, blogs, and forums) regarding security vulnerabilities. Particular embodiments may comprise engine(s) of a backend in communication with a user through an interface of a frontend, and also in communication with an underlying database to store security information and related information (e.g. search parameters). Embodiments may allow creation of user-specific search phrases for searching information in one or more informal social media information sources. Search results may be consolidated, and users such as system administrators quickly alerted to possible security issues. Embodiments may refine data mining over time by tracking the reputation (e.g. for data accuracy, freshness) of various sources. Embodiments may also reference formal official and third party sources of security information.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a telecommunication method for operating a mobile telecommunication device being connectable to a backend server configured for executing a data processing logic via a wireless digital telecommunication network, the mobile telecommunication device and the backend server communicating with each other using a unidirectional request-response-protocol. The disclosure further relates to a mobile telecommunication device and a telecommunication system configured for performing the respective method.

Abstract: A recommendation system for generating location recommendations for drivers of public service vehicles is disclosed. The system segments a map of an area of interest into segments or regions and analyzes historical call data to estimate demand in the regions. The analysis also determines values of the calls in the regions. For example, the analysis estimates the probability of the calls and values of such calls in each region. The analysis may include time patterns to improve accuracy of the estimation. By using the results of the analysis along with current information, such as current location of a vehicle, current time, and real-time traffic information, a holding location recommendation is generated.

Abstract: Embodiments allow join operations to be performed upon encrypted database tables stored on an unsecure server (e.g., as part of a DBaaS offering), with reduced information leakage. Such secure join operations may be implemented through the combination of two cryptographic techniques: non-deterministic (randomized) searchable encryption; and attribute based encryption. The searchable encryption (e.g., Symmetric Searchable Encryption: SSE) allows join values to be revealed only for rows fulfilling additional predicate attributes that the client has filtered for, thereby offering fine granular security. The attribute based encryption (e.g., Key-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption: KP-ABE) avoids the unmanageable consumption of memory that would otherwise result from the creation of intermediate constructions on the server. Embodiments offer a solution reducing information leakage of join values not contained in the result of the actual database query.

Abstract: Secure substring searching on encrypted data may involve a first preprocessing comprising fragmenting a plaintext string slated for remote secure storage, in a plurality of overlapping plaintext substrings. A second preprocessing encrypts these substrings into ciphertexts (e.g., utilizing Frequency-Hiding Order Preserving Encryption) further including position information of the substring. A search index and a secret state result from the first and second preprocessing. The ciphertexts and search index are outsourced to a database within an unsecure server. An engine within the server determines candidate ciphertexts matching a query request received from a secure client. The engine returns ciphertexts to the client for decryption according to the secret state. Preprocessing may be delegated to a third party for outsourcing search index/ciphertexts to the server, and the secret state to the client.

Abstract: Techniques are described for receiving visualizing two-dimensional (2D) metric data in connection with a three-dimensional (3D) visualization data of a manufacturing process. In one example, a 3D visualization of machine-related data from a process session for manufacturing a particular workpiece is presented, the manufacturing process performed by a machine operating in 3D, the machine-related data associated with a path taken by a tool or end-effector associated with the machine and/or the machine itself during the manufacturing process session. At least one 2D data set is provided representing a metric associated with manufacturing process session. A particular set is selected for presentation within the presented 3D visualization of the machine-related data. A connection between values of the 2D metric set and the machine-related data of the 3D visualization is determined and, based on the connection, the selected 2D metric set is incorporated into the 3D visualization of the machine-related data.
